Meet Our Staff

I started at Multitask as a workplace student in 2007. While I was doing my work placement, I found being around the clients a fulfilling experience so once my work placement ended I continued on as a volunteer. When I first came to Multitask, it was to learn about an area I knew nothing about and I was somewhat nervous! But as I went on, I found that every day the clients taught me more than I could ever teach them and they touched me profoundly, hence the continuation as a volunteer. Now I am a paid employee and that means that I can stay and be a part of some really great people's lives as well as watching them achieve their goals.

The reason why I wanted to become a Support worker was to make a difference in the quality of life enjoyed by other people. I began back in 1995 as a Volunteer Worker in Business Services, assisting in Soap Biz with the manufacturing of soap and supporting clients with their work.

I became a Casual Employee in 1998. I applied to become a Supervisor and began working in Supported employment; working in processing soap biz. I eventually managed a small business known as the Medicine Garden 3 days a week. I then moved to Day Services and started working in both the Community Participation Program and Independent Living Service full time. I was also seconded into a Team Leader position at Challenge Plus for a year. I am now Team Leader for The Life Moves and Stretch Program. I love working at Multitask because I enjoy working with people with an intellectual disability, who may also have a physical disability, to support them to live as full a life as possible in the community.
